Subriemannian geometry, a variational approach

Ovidiu Calin Eastern Michigan University Der-Chen Chang Georgetown University

Differential Geometry mathscidoc:1609.10077

Journal of Differential Geometry, 80, (1), 23-43, 2008
The paper deals with a variational approach of the subRiemannian geometry from the point of view of Hamilton-Jacobi and Hamiltonian formalism. We present a discussion of geodesics from the point of view of both formalisms, and prove that the normal geodesics are locally length-minimizing horizontal curves.
